STOVE-PIPE DRUM.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 52,966, dated March 6,1866.

. of Indiana, have invented an Improved Heat- Radiator; and I do herebydeclare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and letters ofreference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a central sectional elevation of my improved heat-radiator.Fig 2 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the pointindicated by the line X X. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken throughthe point indicated by the line 0 0. Fig. etis atop view of thedeflector and rod.

The object of my invention is to provide-a heat-radiator by means ofwhich the heat, as it passes from the stove, may be diffused over alarge surface and controlled without the use of dampers also. to providea deflector which is adjusted by means of springs and operated by a rodfor the purpose of loosening the soot that might accumulate above thedeflector and shut the draft in the central pipe, and further toeconomize fuel.

To enable others skilled in theart to make and use my invention, I willdescribe the method of constructing and operating the same.

A represents the outside of the radiator,

terminating in the cylinder V at the top and the pipe T at the bottom.

B shows the radiator, which is an inverted truncated cone, and is hungto the cylinder V by means of the straps K. this inside radiator is toform a passage between the plates A B, through which a large portion ofthe heat and smoke can pass.

I shows the springs which are attached to the radiator B at R and thedeflector M at P. The object of the springs is to sustain the deflectorN in a central position in the radiator B and allow the deflector N tobe shaken by the rod H for the purpose of loosening the soot which mayaccumulate on the top of the deflector N and choke the central passage.

The object of This is of the greatest importance when burning Illinoiscoalor other kinds containing impurities.

H shows the rod which passes through the plates A B, and is attached tothe deflector N at S.

C shows the central pipe attached to the top of the radiator. The objectof this central pipe is to form a passage for the smoke to escape upwardthrough the stove-pipe. This central pipe extends downward to a pointnear the deflector N, and all of the smoke which passes between theplates A B must pass over the top of the radiator B and downward betweenthe pipe 0 and radiator and enter the pipe atthe lower end. I

D represents the top of the radiator attached to the rim or flange Jwhich passes down and overthe cylinder Vand closes the radiator andprevents the escape of smoke.

I use the same material commonly used in the construction ofstove-drums.

Operation In order to use my heat-radiator it is first necessary toattach the pipe T to the stove or some point near it by means of commonstove-pipe, and then connect the pipe U with the upper stove-pipe. inthe usual manner. The radiator will need no furtherattention unless sootaccumlates on thetop of the deflector N, in which case the deflectormust be shaken inside of the cone B by means of the rod H, which willloosen the soot and allow the same to fall down into the stove or pipe,where it can be removed.

The darts X show the direction of the heat and smoke before it passesthrough the pipe (3.

Having thus described my device, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

A heat-radiator containing the springs I and deflector N, when operatedby meansot' the rod H, as set forth.
